It is day 19, I have removed the turner from my styrofoam still air bator and put my 36 eggs in cartons with the holes punched out of the bottoms. The humidity has been a steady 45% for the first 18 days. I thought this might be a problem when I started because I have had both water channels full from the beginning and was wondering what I was going to do to raise the humidity. I did not have the bator open for long while switching them from the turner to the carton. When we switched them I added 3 sponges with water in them. I have not been able to get it over 55% for any length of time. I use a small sprayer to spray a mist into the bator, but that will only get me to 60% at best then it comes back down to 55%. I have a humidifier going in the room full time and can't get the room above 40%. I'm starting to wonder when NEPA became such an arid place. Anything else I can do to try to get the humidity up. Should I switch to a forced air for the next hatch? Thanks, HR
